Cameron Russell has stomped the runways for Victoria's Secret and Chanel, and has appeared in many magazines. But she is much more than just a pretty face.

Why you should listen

Cameron Russell has spent the last decade modeling. A Victoria's Secret favorite, she has appeared in multiple international editions of Vogue as well as in ads for brands like Ralph Lauren and Benetton. But she feels at her core that image isn't everything.

Cameron runs the blog ArtRoots.info, which is dedicated to covering grassroots public art and political power. She also experiments with creating street art herself. In addition, Cameron is the director of The Big Bad Lab, which creates participatory art that aims to include people in radical demonstrations of positive social change.

She's a co-founder of the new web-based magazine Interrupt, about women, identity, the internet and taking action. Read an update on her work in the New York Times >>

Kameron Rasel priznaje da je dobila na "genetskoj lutriji": visoka je, lepa i manekenka za donji veš. Ali ne sudite o njoj prema izgledu. U ovom neustrašivom govoru, ona daje uvrnut pogled na zanimanje koje je veoma zavodljivo kad imaš samo 16 godina. (Snimljeno na TEDxMidAtlantic.)

neprijatnu napetost

00:33

because I should not have wornnosio this dressхаљина. (LaughterSmeh)

(Smeh)

00:58

I'd alsoтакође noteБелешка that I'm quiteприлично privilegedпривилегован

13

42315

1821

Primetila bih da sam prilično povlašćena

01:00

to be ableу могуцности to transformпреобразити what you think of me

14

44136

3139

jer mogu da promenim
vaše mišljenje o meni

01:03

in a very briefкратко 10 secondsсекунде.

15

47275

2663

za samo 10 sekundi.

01:05

Not everybodyсвима getsдобива to do that.

16

49938

3462

To ne može svako.

01:09

These heelsпете are very uncomfortableнеудобан,

17

53400

1645

Ove štikle su veoma neudobne,

01:10

so good thing I wasn'tније going to wearносити them.

18

55045

4194

sreća pa nisam nameravala da ih nosim.

01:15

The worstнајгоре partдео is puttingстављање this sweaterdžemper over my headглава,

19

59239

1705

Najgori deo je navlačenje ovog
džempera preko glave

01:16

because that's when you'llти ћеш all laughсмех at me,

20

60944

1320

jer ćete mi se svi tu smejati,

01:18

so don't do anything while it's over my headглава.

21

62264

4966

pa nemojte raditi ništa
dok mi je preko glave.

01:23

All right.

22

67230

3413

U redu.

01:26

So why did I do that?

23

70643

3071

Zašto sam to uradila?

01:29

That was awkwardneugodno.

24

73714

2598

To je bilo čudno.

01:32

Well,

25

76312

4109

Pa,

01:36

hopefullyНадајмо се not as awkwardneugodno as that pictureслика.

26

80421

4418

nadam se ne čudno kao ova slika.

01:40

ImageSlika is powerfulмоћан,

27

84839

3249

Izgled je moćan,

01:43

but alsoтакође imageслика is superficialповршни.

28

88088

4948

ali takođe i površan.

01:48

I just totallyтотално transformedтрансформисано what you thought of me in sixшест secondsсекунде.

29

93036

4443

Upravo sam totalno promenila vaše mišljenje
o meni u 6 sekundi.

01:53

And in this pictureслика,

30

97479

1839

A na ovoj slici,

01:55

I had actuallyзаправо never had a boyfriendдечко in realправи life.

31

99318

2744

zapravo nikada nisam
imala dečka u stvarnosti.

01:57

I was totallyтотално uncomfortableнеудобан, and the photographerфотограф

32

102062

2512

Bilo mi je jako neprijatno, a fotograf

02:00

was tellingговорећи me to archLuk my back and put my handруку

33

104574

2421

mi je govorio da savijem leđa i stavim ruku

02:02

in that guy'sмомак hairкоса.

34

106995

4018

tom čoveku u kosu.

02:06

And of courseкурс, barringзабрана surgeryоперација,

35

111013

2000

I naravno, osim operacije

02:08

or the fakeлажан tanTan that I got two daysдана agoпре for work,

36

113013

3441

ili tamnog tena koji sam nabacila
pre dva dana zbog posla,

02:12

there's very little that we can do to transformпреобразити how we look,

37

116454

3761

veoma je malo toga što možemo
uraditi da promenimo izgled,

02:16

and how we look, thoughипак it is superficialповршни and immutablenepromenljivu,

38

120215

3456

a naš izgled, iako je površan i nepromenljiv,

02:19

has a hugeогромно impactутицај on our livesживи.

39

123671

4363

ima velik uticaj na naše živote.

02:23

So todayданас, for me, beingбиће fearlessbez straha meansзначи beingбиће honestпоштен.

40

128034

4628

Za mene danas neustrašivost
znači iskrenost.

02:28

And I am on this stageфаза because I am a modelмодел.

41

132662

2885

Na ovoj sceni sam zato što sam manekenka.

02:31

I am on this stageфаза because I am a prettyприлично, whiteбео womanжена,

42

135547

3727

Na ovoj sceni sam jer sam lepa, bela žena,

02:35

and in my industryиндустрија we call that a sexyсекси girlдевојка.

43

139274

2765

a u mom poslu to zovemo seksi devojkom.

02:37

And I'm going to answerодговор the questionsпитања that people always askпитати me,

44

142039

2514

Odgovoriću na pitanja
koja mi često postavljaju,

02:40

but with an honestпоштен twistobrt.

45

144553

1679

ali sa iskrenošću.

02:42

So the first questionпитање is, how do you becomeпостати a modelмодел?

46

146232

2902

Prvo pitanje je,
kako se postaje manekenka?

02:45

And I always just say, "Oh, I was scoutedradela," but that meansзначи nothing.

47

149134

2802

Uvek prvo kažem: "Ah, primetili su me",
ali to ne znači ništa.

02:47

The realправи way that I becameпостао a modelмодел is

48

151936

3518

Zapravo sam postala manekenka

02:51

I wonпобедио a geneticгенетски lotterylutrija, and I am the recipientprimalac of a legacyнаслеђе,

49

155454

3487

02:54

and maybe you're wonderingпитајући се what is a legacyнаслеђе.

50

158941

1863

Možda se pitate šta je to zaveštanje.

02:56

Well, for the pastпрошлост fewнеколико centuriesвековима

51

160804

3003

Poslednjih nekoliko vekova

02:59

we have definedдефинисани beautyлепота not just as healthздравље and youthмлади

52

163807

5518

lepotu smo definisali ne samo
kao zdravlje i mladost

03:05

and symmetrysimetrija that we're biologicallyбиолошки programmedпрограмирано to admireдивити се,

53

169325

3786

i simetriju, koje smo biološki

03:09

but alsoтакође as tallвисок, slendervitke figuresфигуре,

nego kao i visoke, vitke figure

03:12

and femininityћenstvenosti and whiteбео skinкожа.

55

176647

3247

i ženstvenost i svetlu put.

03:15

And this is a legacyнаслеђе that was builtизграђен for me,

56

179894

1772

Ovo zaveštanje je stvoreno za mene

03:17

and it's a legacyнаслеђе that I've been cashingunovиavanje out on.

57

181666

2774

i to je zaveštanje koje unovčavam.

03:20

And I know there are people in the audienceпублика

58

184440

2054

Znam da trenutno u publici ima ljudi

03:22

who are skepticalскептичан at this pointтачка,

59

186494

1716

koji su sada skeptični

03:24

and maybe there are some fashionistasmodu who are, like,

60

188210

1592

i možda ima nekih ljubitelja mode
koji u sebi kažu:

03:25

"Wait. NaomiNaomi. TyraTajra. JoanJoan SmallsSmalls. LiuLiu WenVen."

61

189802

3452

"Čekaj. Naomi. Tajra.

03:29

And first, I commendda pohvalim you on your modelмодел knowledgeзнање. Very impressiveимпресиван.

62

193254

2592

Prvo moram da pohvalim vaše
znanje manekenstva. Impresivno.

03:31

(LaughterSmeh)

63

195846

2231

(Smeh)

03:33

But unfortunatelyнажалост I have to informобавестити you that in 2007,

64

198077

3553

Ali nažalost moram da vas obavestim da je 2007.,

03:37

a very inspiredинспирирано NYUNYU PhPH.D. studentученик countedбројање

65

201630

2510

veoma nadahnut doktorant
njuroškog univerziteta izbrojao

03:40

all the modelsмодели on the runwayписта, everyсваки singleједно one that was hiredангажован,

66

204140

3626

sve manekenke na pisti,
svaku koja je zaposlena

03:43

and of the 677 modelsмодели that were hiredангажован,

67

207766

3128

i od 677 zaposlenih manekenki,

03:46

only 27, or lessмање than fourчетири percentпроценат, were non-white-Beli.

68

210894

4743

samo 27 ili manje od 4%,
nisu bile belkinje.

03:51

The nextследећи questionпитање people always askпитати me is,

69

215637

1551

Sledeće što me uvek pitaju je:

03:53

"Can I be a modelмодел when I growрасту up?"

70

217188

1955

"Mogu li da postanem
manekenka kad porastem?"

03:55

And the first answerодговор is, "I don't know, they don't put me in chargeпуњење of that."

71

219143

3404

Prvi odgovor je:
"Ne znam, nisam zadužena za to."

03:58

But the secondдруго answerодговор, and what I really want to say to these little girlsдевојке is, "Why?

72

222547

5198

Drugi odgovor i ono što zaista želim
da kažem ovim devojkama je: "Zašto?

04:03

You know? You can be anything.

73

227745

1365

Znaš? Možeš da budeš bilo šta.

04:05

You could be the PresidentPredsednik of the UnitedUjedinjeni StatesDržava,

74

229110

04:06

or the inventorпроналазач of the nextследећи InternetInternet,

75

04:08

or a ninjaninja cardio-thoracickardio-grudnom surgeonhirurg poetpesnik,

76

232207

2956

ili nindža kardio-grudni hirurg pesnikinja,

04:11

whichкоја would be awesomeсупер, because you'dти би be the first one."

77

235163

2644

što bi bilo super jer bi bila prva u tome."

04:13

(LaughterSmeh)

78

237807

2233

(Smeh)

04:15

If, after this amazingНевероватно listлиста, they still are like,

79

240040

2102

Ako i nakon ovog sjajnog spiska još uvek kažu:

04:18

"No, no, CameronCameron, I want to be a modelмодел,"

80

242142

1507

"Ne, ne, Kameron,
želim da se bavim manekenstvom",

04:19

well then I say, "Be my bossшеф."

81

243649

2316

onda im kažem: "Budi moj šef."

04:21

Because I'm not in chargeпуњење of anything,

82

245965

1266

Jer ja nisam zadužena ni za šta

04:23

and you could be the editorуредник in chiefшеф of AmericanAmerikanac VogueVogue

83

247231

2176

i možeš biti glavna urednica američkog Voga

04:25

or the CEOGENERALNI DIREKTOR of H&M, or the nextследећи StevenSteven MeiselMeisela.

84

249407

3624

ili direktor H&M-a ili sledeći Stiven Majzel.

04:28

SayingIzreka that you want to be a modelмодел when you growрасту up

85

253031

1921

Reći da želiš da budeš
manekenka kad porasteš

04:30

is akinAkin to sayingговорећи that you want to winпобедити the PowerballLoto-u when you growрасту up.

86

254952

3194

slično je kao da kažeš da želiš
da pobediš na lutriji kad porasteš.

04:34

It's out of your controlконтрола, and it's awesomeсупер,

87

258146

4092

Nije u tvojim rukama i sjajno je

04:38

and it's not a careerкаријера pathпут.

88

262238

1585

i nije karijera.

04:39

I will demonstratedemonstrirati for you now 10 yearsгодине of accumulatedнагомилане modelмодел knowledgeзнање,

89

263823

4484

Sada ću vam demostrirati 10 godina

04:44

because unlikeза разлику од cardio-thoracickardio-grudnom surgeonsHirurzi,

90

268307

1766

jer za razliku od kardio-grudnih hirurga,

04:45

it can just be distilledдестилован right into -- right now.

91

270073

2889

sve se može svesti na - ovaj trenutak.

04:48

So if the photographerфотограф is right there

92

272962

3186

Ako je fotograf tamo

04:52

and the lightсветло is right there, like a niceлеп HMIM.,

93

276148

1897

i rasveta je tamo, neki fini reflektori

04:53

and the clientклијент saysкаже, "CameronCameron, we want a walkingХодање shotпуцањ,"

94

278045

1622

i klijent kaže:

well then this legnoga goesиде first, niceлеп and long, this armрука goesиде back, this armрука goesиде forwardнапред,

95

279667

3504

onda prvo ide ova noga, fina i duga,
ova ruka ide nazad, ova ruka napred,

04:59

the headглава is at threeтри quartersчетврти, and you just go back and forthнапред,

96

283171

2593

glava je na tri četvrtine
i samo se krećeš napred i nazad,

05:01

just do that, and then you look back at your imaginaryimaginarni friendsпријатељи,

97

285764

2390

samo to radiš i onda gledaš
u svoje zamišljene prijatelje,

05:04

98

288154

5265

300, 400, 500 puta.
(Smeh)

05:09

It will look something like this. (LaughterSmeh)

99

293419

4123

Izgledaće otprilike ovako.
(Smeh)

05:13

HopefullyNadam se lessмање awkwardneugodno than that one in the middleсредина.

100

297542

2211

Nadajmo se manje čudno od ove srednje slike.

05:15

That was, I don't know what happenedдесило there.

101

299753

3215

Ne znam šta se tu desilo.

05:18

UnfortunatelyNa žalost after you've goneотишла to schoolшкола,

102

302968

1892

Nažalost nakon što završite školu

05:20

and you have a résumсумé and you've doneГотово a fewнеколико jobsпосао,

103

304860

1272

i imate rezime i uradili ste par poslova,

05:22

you can't say anything anymoreвише,

104

306132

1554

više ne možete reći ništa

05:23

so if you say you want to be the PresidentPredsednik of the UnitedUjedinjeni StatesDržava,

105

307686

3742

i ako kažete da želite
da postanete predsednica SAD-a,

05:27

but your résumсумé readsчита, "UnderwearDonje rublje ModelModel: 10 yearsгодине,"

106

311428

2200

ali u rezimeu vam piše:
"Manekenka za donji veš: 10 godina",

05:29

people give you a funnyсмешно look.

107

313628

1792

ljudi će vas gledati čudno.

05:31

The nextследећи questionпитање people always askпитати me is, "Do they retouchSirs all the photosфотографије?"

108

315420

2692

Sledeće što me pitaju je:
"Da li retuširaju sve slike?"

05:34

And yeah, they prettyприлично much retouchSirs all the photosфотографије,

109

318112

1621

I da, u principu sve slike se retuširaju,

05:35

but that is only a smallмали componentсаставни део of what's happeningдогађај.

110

319733

3950

ali to je samo mali deo
onoga što se dešava.

05:39

This pictureслика is the very first pictureслика that I ever tookузела,

05:48

I was a youngмлади girlдевојка.

128

i oni prave ovo.
To nisam ja.

06:25

Okay, so the nextследећи questionпитање people always askпитати me is,

129

369206

2141

Sledeće pitanje koje mi stalno postavljaju je:

06:27

"Do you get freeбесплатно stuffствари?"

130

371347

2661

"Da li dobijaš stvari besplatno?"

06:29

I do have too manyмноги 8-inch-inčni heelsпете whichкоја I never get to wearносити,

131

374008

Zaista imam previše štikli od 20cm
koje nikad ne nosim,

06:33

exceptосим for earlierраније,

132

377445

1619

osim ranije,

06:34

but the freeбесплатно stuffствари that I get

133

379064

2048

ali besplatne stvari koje dobijam

06:37

is the freeбесплатно stuffствари that I get in realправи life, and that's what we don't like to talk about.

134

381112

3370

su iste one koje bih ionako dobila
i ne volimo da pričamo o tome.

06:40

I grewрастао up in CambridgeCambridge,

135

384482

1612

Odrasla sam u Kembridžu

06:41

and one time I wentотишао into a storeпродавница and I forgotзаборавио my moneyновац

136

386094

2365

i jednom sam otišla u prodavnicu
i zaboravila novac

06:44

and they gaveдала me the dressхаљина for freeбесплатно.

137

388459

2363

i dali su mi haljinu besplatno.

06:46

When I was a teenagerтинејџер, I was drivingвожња with my friendпријатељ

138

390822

2520

Kada sam bila tinejdžerka,
vozila sam se s drugaricom

06:49

who was an awfulгрозно driverвозач and she ranтрчао a redцрвена and of courseкурс,

139

393342

1865

koja je bila očajan vozač
i prošla kroz crveno

06:51

we got pulledвуче over,

140

395207

2039

i naravno da su nas zaustavili

06:53

and all it tookузела was a "Sorry, officerофицир,"

141

397246

2286

i trebalo je samo reći:
"Izvinite pozorniče",

06:55

and we were on our way.

142

399532

2386

i nastavile smo dalje.

06:57

And I got these freeбесплатно things because of how I look,

143

401918

3651

Dobila sam ove besplatne stvari
zbog svog izgleda,

07:01

not who I am, and there are people payingплаћање a costтрошак

144

405569

2819

ne zbog toga ko sam
i postoje ljudi koji plaćaju cenu

07:04

for how they look and not who they are.

145

408388

2242

zbog svog izgleda,
a ne zbog toga ko su.

07:06

I liveживи in NewNovi YorkYork, and last yearгодине,

146

410630

1586

Živim u Njujorku i prošle godine,

07:08

of the 140,000 teenagersТинејџери that were stoppedпрестала and friskedpretresao,

147

412216

3861

od 140 hiljada tinejdžera
koji su zaustavljeni i pretresani,

07:11

86 percentпроценат of them were blackцрн and LatinoLatino,

148

416077

2184

86% su bili crnci i latinoamerikanci

07:14

and mostнајвише of them were youngмлади menмушкарци.

149

418261

1855

i većina njih su bili mladi muškarci.

07:16

And there are only 177,000 youngмлади blackцрн and LatinoLatino menмушкарци in NewNovi YorkYork,

150

420116

4486

U Njujorku ima samo 177 hiljada
mladih crnaca i latinoamerikanaca,

07:20

so for them, it's not a questionпитање of, "Will I get stoppedпрестала?"

151

424602

2701

tako da za njih to nije pitanje:
"Da li će me zaustaviti?",

07:23

but "How manyмноги timesпута will I get stoppedпрестала? When will I get stoppedпрестала?"

152

427303

2895

nego: "Koliko puta će me zaustaviti?
Kada će me zaustaviti?"

07:26

When I was researchingistražuje this talk,

153

430198

1426

Kada sam istraživala za ovaj govor,

07:27

I foundнашао out that of the 13-year-old-година стар girlsдевојке in the UnitedUjedinjeni StatesDržava,

154

431624

3574

otkrila sam da od svih
američkih trinaestogodišnjakinja,

07:31

53 percentпроценат don't like theirњихова bodiesтела,

155

435198

2688

53% nije zadovoljno svojim telom

07:33

and that numberброј goesиде to 78 percentпроценат by the time that they're 17.

156

437886

3850

i taj broj skače do 78%
do sedamnaeste godine.

07:37

So the last questionпитање people askпитати me is,

157

441736

3382

Poslednje što me ljudi pitaju je:

07:41

"What is it like to be a modelмодел?"

158

445118

1016

"Kako je to biti manekenka?"

07:42

And I think the answerодговор that they're looking for is,

159

446134

2800

Mislim da je odgovor koji traže:

07:44

"If you are a little bitмало skinniermršaviji and you have shiniersjajnija hairкоса,

160

448934

2944

"Ako si malo mršavija i imaš sjajniju kosu

07:47

you will be so happyсрећан and fabulousсјајно."

161

451878

2797

bićeš tako srećna i zanosna."

07:50

And when we're backstageиза бине, we give an answerодговор

162

454675

2115

Kada smo iza scene, damo im odgovor

07:52

that maybe makesчини it seemИзгледа like that.

163

456790

1435

koji možda izgleda tako.

07:54

We say, "It's really amazingНевероватно to travelпутовање,

164

458225

2597

Kažemo: "Zaista je sjajno putovati

07:56

and it's amazingНевероватно to get to work with creativeкреативан, inspiredинспирирано, passionateстраствено people."

165

460822

4087

i sjajno je raditi sa kreativnim,
inspirisanim, strastvenim ljudima."

08:00

And those things are trueистина, but they're only one halfпола of the storyприча,

166

464909

3046

Te stvari su istinite,
ali čine samo pola priče

08:03

because the thing that we never say on cameraКамера,

167

467955

2723

jer ono što nikad ne kažemo
pred kamerom,

08:06

that I have never said on cameraКамера,

168

470678

2096

što ja nikad nisam rekla pred kamerom,

08:08

is, "I am insecurenesigurna."

169

472774

2384

je: "Ja sam nesigurna."

08:11

And I'm insecurenesigurna because I have to think about

170

475158

1454

Nesigurna sam jer svakog dana
moram da razmišljam

08:12

what I look like everyсваки day.

171

476612

2925

o tome kako izgledam.

08:15

And if you ever are wonderingпитајући се,

172

479537

4059

Ako se ikada pitate:

08:19

"If I have thinnertanji thighsbutine and shiniersjajnija hairкоса, will I be happierсрећније?"

173

483596

3954

"Da imam tanje butine i sjajniju kosu,
da li bih bila srećnija?"

08:23

you just need to meetсусрет a groupгрупа of modelsмодели,

174

487550

1631

samo treba da upoznate nekoliko manekenki

08:25

because they have the thinnestnajtanja thighsbutine and the shiniestсјајан hairкоса and the coolestцоолест clothesОдећа,

175

489181

2633

jer one imaju najtanje butine
i najsjaniju kosu i najlepšu odeću,

08:27

and they're the mostнајвише physicallyфизички insecurenesigurna womenЖене probablyвероватно on the planetПланета.

176

491814

4982

a pripadaju fizički najnesigurnijim
ženama na svetu.

08:32

So when I was writingписање this talk, I foundнашао it very difficultтешко

177

496796

2258

Kada sam pisala ovaj govor
bilo mi je teško

08:34

to strikeštrajk an honestпоштен balanceбаланс, because on the one handруку,

178

499054

2893

da napravim iskrenu ravnotežu,
jer u jednu ruku,

08:37

I feltосетио very uncomfortableнеудобан to come out here and say,

179

501947

2960

bilo mi je teško da izađem ovde i kažem:

08:40

"Look I've receivedпримљен all these benefitsПредности from a deckпалуба stackednaslagano in my favorфавор,"

180

504907

3567

"Vidite, dobila sam sve ove pogodnosti
jer su mi karte bile naklonjene",

08:44

and it alsoтакође feltосетио really uncomfortableнеудобан to followпратити that up with,

181

508474

3148

i takođe je bilo teško sve to nastaviti sa,

08:47

"and it doesn't always make me happyсрећан."

182

511622

2789

"i to me ne čini srećnom."

08:50

But mostlyуглавном it was difficultтешко to unpackraspakujem a legacyнаслеђе

183

514411

Ali uglavnom je bilo teško

08:59

But I'm alsoтакође happyсрећан and honoredИast mi je to be up here

186

523198

3105

Ali takođe sam srećna
i počastvovana što sam ovde

09:02

and I think that it's great that I got to come

187

526303

3236

i mislim da je sjajno što sam došla

09:05

before 10 or 20 or 30 yearsгодине had passedположио and I'd had more agencyагенција in my careerкаријера,

188

529539

3697

pre nego što je prošlo 10, 20 ili 30 godina
i više agencija kroz moju karijeru

09:09

because maybe then I wouldn'tне би tell the storyприча of how I got my first jobпосао,

189

533236

jer onda možda ne bih pričala
kako sam dobila prvi posao

or maybe I wouldn'tне би tell the storyприча of how I paidплаћени for collegeколеџ,

191

što se sada čini veoma bitnim.

If there's a takeawayzagonetka to this talk, I hopeнадати се it's that
